Chemometrics: Data analysis in chemical sciences and omics

Abstract:

In this talk, Rasmus Bro from University of Copenhagen, will present an overview of how data analysis is used in chemistry to improve food quality, allow for early detection of cancer and for understanding complex processes.

Special emphasis will be given to the unique possibilities that arise when data can be properly represented as tensors (so-called multi-way arrays). Tensor data analysis provides unique opportunities for e.g. non-invasive chemical profiling and other interesting types of information harvesting that could not otherwise be achieved.
